profusion, and is equally abundant by
the sides of the Wey to its junction with
the Thames. The river-sides and adjoining
meadows offer a rich treat. The occurrence of
Stellaria glauca in marshy meadows at
the foot of St. Catherine’s Hill, of Cuscuta
europaea in an osier-holt by the side of
the Wey a little above Guildford, and of
Lepidium sativum and Barbarea praecox,
upon the banks of the river, has been already
recorded by Mr. Mill (Phytol. i. |.41 | 64). Nas-
turtium sylvestre is found by the river-
side against Unstead bridge, and in an
adjoining meadow Scabiosa succisa, which
also occurs towards Hurtmore Bottom,

alternifolium, intermixed with C. opposi-
tifolium, on a wet bank near the bridge.

Wood Farm, the Withybeds, in the Dean-

grows on the towing path near Catteshall
bridge, a situation in which I am un-

the common meadows will be found
Oenanthe silaifolia and in the ditches
Oe. crocata, Alisma Plantago, Sagit-
taria sagittifolia, Butomus umbel-
latus, and several species of Pota-
mogeton, as densus, pusillus, pec-
tinatus, gramineus, perfoliatus;
and in that portion known as Sal-
